Code Enforcement

My neighbor hasn’t cut their grass in a while - what do I do?

During the warmer months and rainy season we get this question often. Our office is responsible for the code enforcement of all nuisance violations. You are welcome to contact us through email or by calling us at 252-728-2142. A lot of these type violations are corrected quickly however some take longer depending on the type of violation and the situation regarding the violation. Every effort will be made to keep you informed of the violation status if it is your desire to be informed.
Code enforcement by the Planning and Inspection Department does apply to building permitting (or “building” without a permit), a certificate of appropriateness (or doing work without a COA), etc. Please contact our office at 252-728-2142 or d.graham@beaufortnc.org for more information or to place a report of such violations.
